The smartphone was launched in 2017 with Android Nougat on-board.

Ever since HMD Global brought back the legendary Nokia brand into the world of smartphones, it has launched a handful of Nokia-branded Android smartphones. While that’s good, what’s even better is that the Finnish company has also done a great job at keeping its smartphones supported with relevant software updates.

To that end, HMD Global has now started seeding Android Pie, the latest flavor of Google’s popular mobile operating system, to Nokia 5. The news was announced via a tweet by Juho Sarvikas, HMD Global’s Chief Product Officer. It’s worth mentioning that Nokia 5 was launched back in 2017 with Android Nougat out-of-the-box, so this is the second major OS upgrade the lower-end smartphone is getting.

As noted by Nokiapoweruser, Android Pie update for Nokia 5 measures a little over 1660MB in size. Apart from the usual Pie goodies, the upgrade also packs in Android security patch for the month of January 2019. That said, the upgrade is being rolled out gradually, so it will take a while before all Nokia 5 units out there get it.
